Speaker 1 (00:00):
Top of the hour, always the best time to call.
And as you know, I get through these phone calls
pretty pretty quickly because I have no patience. So you know,
I cut you off, I scream at you. It's great
fun on this side. Quite often I'm wrong and let
me ask you something. This happens all the time too,
(00:20):
is people will call me and I'll say something and
they no, it's no. The statute says this, or the
law says this is because then why call me?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Maybe I should call you and you get the show
fine eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
This is handle on the law, marginal legal advice where
I tell you have absolutely no case.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Boy, this was a national case, big time.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Luigi Maggiano the guy who was arrested for killing the
CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, And he was out
there at large for I don't know, maybe a week,
five days, six days, and there was no question that
he was going to be captured because this was a
man hunt of gargantuan proportions, So he was going to
(01:14):
be caught. And there was a pretty substantial award that
was offered for tips leading to.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
The arrest of the suspect.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well more than four hundred tips were called in to
New York Police Department's Crime Stoppers the tip Line during
this five day search. The NYPD said about thirty of
those tips were useful. Probably the best tip, I mean
probably it was was a nine to one to one
call came in from a McDonald's employee now Tuna, Pennsylvania,
(01:49):
that said, your guy is here, I recognize him, and
they came and picked him up. So now there is
sixty thousand dollars reward is out there.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So who gets it?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And this quite often is a problem. Who gets the reward?
The thirty tips that came in from thirty different people
sort of zeroing him in where they're looking at a
specific location, Well that helped. That certainly was part of it.
Is it only that phone call to nine to one
(02:27):
one that said this is the guy here? That happens
all the time in rewards, and they usually take a
fair amount of time to figure out. And if there
are both federal and local awards or reward offers county, state,
feds or usually it's county and state, they're different rules
(02:50):
as in who gets it? Who gets you know, which
tips the balance. So at this point, no one knows.
And by the way, there were rewards called in where
a cop did it all? And does the cop get.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Reward the reward well, no, that's his job. That's another issue.
So sixty dollars is going to be.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Split up somehow, someway somewhere, and that's quite often how
rewards get started.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Okay, back we go.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Phone calls, Ted, Hi, Ted, I know, Yeah, I ran
off the road by an attorney.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Okay, didn't run yeah, and the cops. The cops went
to his house and talked to him, and then he
just denied it. So I just wonder what do I
All right, Well, let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Okay, First of all, were you injured at all?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yes, hurt my neck, in my back.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
The fact that he's the lawyer really doesn't matter. If
you can establish he that he ran you off the road.
I mean, he can be a lawyer all he wants.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Was there in the car with me, and she was
in there, she was okay.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So how did you establish how did you establish that
it was him that ran you off the road if it.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Was a hit and run, Well, he side slight me
in the slow lane. He ran me off into the
ice plants, and then I came behind him and we
started taking pictures of his license plate. And then the
cops went to his house and he denied it.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Okay, so let him deny it. In the meantime, you
have pictures of him at that point.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And what did he say? I wasn't there?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
He said, no, I never ran into some car anywhere.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He just okay, fine, so he says that, now, okay,
but so what The fact that he's an attorney has
nothing to do with it. If you have the proof,
if you have the evidence, and here are the pictures,
and he said, I never ran into a car anywhere.
Then why was your picture taken by him? I'm asking
him why would Ted have taken your picture? And he
(05:00):
he's going to go, I don't know. I guess just
Ted took my picture for no reason. The fact that
you have been injured, uh, and I don't know how
badly you've been injured.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Have you talked to a personal injury lawyer yet?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I did, and they don't. They're not interested too much
in that.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Okay, Well, hang on a minute.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
They're not interested too much because your damages aren't very high.
In other words, when you talk about your neck in
your back, is there their objective views of the injury?
Did you break anything? You need any surgery or is
it all soft tissue?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It wasn't like that. It was just it was just
the shock of it in this.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Okay, So that's not an injury ted. That's okay.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So that's why lawyers aren't taking it ted because there's
no money in it. Now, if your head had come off,
that is a good case. Okay, that would have been
a good case. If you flew through the window, uh
and all of a sudden your face looks like a
pepperoni pizza, that's a good case.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So your problem is twofold number one. It depends on
the proof.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, the problem really is that you're not injured enough
for a lawyer to take the case.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
How much damage to your car?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Got'm under two thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Suman small claims.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Souman small claims for that, and the fact that he's
a lawyer means nothing in small claims court.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
The cops give me his name and address, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So you sue him, so you serve them.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So you have them served, Your small you file a
small claim suit, and you serve the guy not that complicated.
A lawyer or lawyers won't go after other lawyers that
go Are you crazy? Lawyers don't go after other lawyers.
You ever seen animals that kill their.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Young and eat them?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, that's what we're doing here for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Run Hello, ron.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Hi Bill.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
I've got a ninety four year old grandmother who has said, wait.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Your grandmother is not twenty four? How old? Are you wrong?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I'm old?
Speaker 5 (07:03):
No, my mother in law sorry and my grandma.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh yeah, your mother in law's ninety four? All right?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
And so said dementia, got two daughters that are still alive.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
She's getting a point where we need to get conservaticy
of her. She doesn't have a whole lot of money,
but okay, and then so she's going to need to
move out of there, right, fair.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Enough, I got it. What's your question?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Run? So how do I get conservaticy?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Okay, that's okay, that's a procedure. It doesn't matter what
she says.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Part of it is I'm looking at the computer screen
that she is. She's not cooperating. Well, very few people
with dementia cooperate. That's The entire point of the conservatorships
is to take over notwithstanding, because even if she does
cooperate tomorrow, she doesn't and she forgets or she doesn't forget,
that's dementia. It's an application by a family member usually
(07:56):
just to go into court and say, I want to
take conservativeship over my ninety five year old mother in law,
and here is her medical issues, and you talk to
the doctors because someone's treating her.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean, it's not you that's determined she has dementia.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Because the course's not going to say, oh, you think
she has dementia, therefore I'm going to go ahead and
grant it. The judge is not going to say that
there has to be some proof. It can be done
by Affid David. You don't need medical proof. Particularly can
be done by everybody who knows her. It could be
done by her daughter, It could be to my cousins,
it could be on people that are aware of what
she is, and everybody says she's out of her mind,
and a conservatorship will be granted.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
As an application for.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Conservatorship, it's not a big deal. You will probably get it.
I mean, no one's going to contest it. Probably, and
so probably you go to a trust and estate lawyer
and you spend a couple thousand dollars as opposed to
doing it yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That's what I would do.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And if you have the money, by the way, you
can pay yourself back out of her estate if she
has money.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Once you get a conservatorship, you control the.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Money that she has and you can actually pay yourself
back for the cost of the conservatorship.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Okay, and how you do it? Hey, quick word about
your pain.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
If you are living in chronic pain or you know
someone who does, let me suggest you listen to The
Pain Game podcast because it's about living.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
With chronic pain, and so many people do.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
The podcast is funny, but at the same time it's
so helpful.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's actually a lifesaver for people.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I've heard that the host Lindsay Soprano, and I've known
for years she's lived with chronic pain twenty four to seven,
and boy that she do it heroically. And every episode
ends with a message of hope. I mean, you can
walk out of that you listen to this saying you go, wow, okay,
now I feel better.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Now I understand. That's the Pain Game Podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The Pain Game Podcast Hello, Spencer, good.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Morning, And aside about your reward story, look for the
owner of the McDonald's franchise to try to claim the
reward since it was his employee.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That okay, okay, good point.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
That was the story I did at the beginning of
the hour about the reward and how rewards are split
up on tips.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, thanks for that. It's a good point. Yeah, okay, right,
we canna go for you, Spencer.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Well, you might remember my call where I asked you
should I use this device to stop a barking dog?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
What did I say?
Speaker 8 (10:17):
Oh, you went off some turnpike of talking about exploding
heads in a movie.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I didn't have the dog. Yeah, it splowed the dog's head.
I think I do remember that.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And I said, obviously you didn't do that, did you,
because you wouldn't be calling me, or maybe you would
after you got arrested for exploiting a dog's head.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
No, okay, so what's your question?
Speaker 8 (10:39):
The dog thinked me out. I went by the guy's
house and the dog was real frisky until I showed up.
The He looked like he was worried that I was there.
The guy made the conclusion that I was the one
that had interfered with his constantly barking dog.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
And now I.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Find out that he's a member of a fairly well
known motorcycle club that has a.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Okay, yeah, so what's what's your question?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
That one would not want to have a name.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
He's a he's a member of some like a Hell's
Angels kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I don't know if it is or not, but I
don't even if they're around anymore. But okay, so now
what all right? He now thinks that you are He
now thinks.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You're responsible for the remoting tool explodo, heead Okay.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Based on the dog's reaction, what's your question, Spencer? I'm
getting word that I better watch my staff, and I
wonder what I can do. It's sort of a veiled threat.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, looks, I'll tell you what you can do.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Basically, let me give you my opinion.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You're gonna die, okay, Spencer, Uh, You're gonna get killed for.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
This by this guy.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What I would do, assuming that he doesn't kill you,
is uh, ignore it. Just ignore it, and if he
brings it up, go I had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
If he brings it up and he says something, what
are you talking about And he says, well, I think
you did it. Go No, absolutely not. You know, I
don't know why the dog is acting this way. And
by the way, why would the dog act that way
if you're doing a remote control unless you do it
right to the dog's.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Face, Because dogs figure out more than you know.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I guess, I guess, so all right, so uh, you
know the dog should do this show?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I guess. Okay, I mean my dogs and they're just
not that smart. Mervin him Irvin, welcome.
Speaker 10 (12:40):
Good morning, sir. Yes, turned to coal own your credit
coach turned the coal.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
That was it?
Speaker 10 (12:48):
No, okay, I've got it. I've got a grand said,
got arrested six plus years ago on something that it's
a Bill Clinton deal? But it well, what is it?
How far up? And they just every month they put
it off to the next month and the next month
(13:09):
and the next month. Is there any way we could
speed this thing up and get it over with.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Probably not? And how long ago? Six and a half
years ago?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yes, sir, I would ask them to be dismissed after
six and a half years. What are they doing for
six and a half years? How serious the crime is this?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Mervin?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
What is the Accuseday, I'm gonna be very very honest.
Speaker 10 (13:32):
He was a new sheriff in the county. How many
guess he got cut pat and some little gall on.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The cush Okay, well that's shin you know. Did and
he got did? He get tossed out of the academy
for that?
Speaker 10 (13:44):
He got putt He got put out of the Sheriff's department.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Okay, And then they are a wire.
Speaker 10 (13:53):
They have him on a recording saying yes I did.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Okay, fine, yo.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
If they have a wire and he's bit's doing it
on a recording and they have put it off for
six and a half years, Mervin, you wanted to be
put off for as long as possible because based on
what you're saying, they got them, they have him.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That's it. He said no did okay? They said yeah. Guy,
what I'm saying goes, yeah I did it. Now what
do you need? What you need to determine whether that's
true or not?
Speaker 10 (14:23):
One more question, Bill, The gal that was involved got
twenty five k from the county and they can't find her.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Well, that's helpful. Just leave it alone.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
If they keep on if they keep on going and going,
I'd call the da and go what do you guys
doing six and a half years later and you can't
even find the witness?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
When are you gonna dismiss this thing?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
That's what I would do, because that doesn't make a
lot of sense unless you fell through the cracks. I
would just leave it alone, or you know, get a
lawyer and ask for a dismissal of the case. All right,
I don't want to talk to you about data breaches
for a moment. A few months ago, two point seven
billion records we're stolen by cyber hackers from a company
(15:05):
known as National Public Data that provides background checks to
employers and other.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Identities or entities. So many records are stolen online.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
We are so vulnerable to identity theft, and we have
virtually zero control over how our identity is protected by
third party companies like National Public Data, which you're out
there no matter what. So how do you protect yourself?

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Eli?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Hello?
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Eli?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (16:29):
My brother had a heart attack and now he's in
a coma.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh howld is he?
Speaker 5 (16:34):
How old is hety?
Speaker 10 (16:35):
One?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Forty one?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Tough?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
That's tough, and he has a brain damage and we're
gonna have to decide pretty soon if we're gonna keep
them on the vent later or we're gonna freak them.
And uh, well he had money coming from the from
the truck because my mom died earlier this year, and
I sold all the properties and I was wondering should
(16:59):
I keep it in his trust?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Well, first of all he had was the trust. The
trust already distributed.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
When you say he had money in the trust, you're
the trustee.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
You're the trustee of the money, and it's still in
the trust, correct.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Yeah, okay, okay?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What does the trust say?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
There are directions in the trust as to what happens
with the money under whatever circumstances.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
What does the trust tell you to do?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
It just tells me to disperse the money, and that's
about it.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Okay, Then you disperse the money and you can do it.
You can do it now.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I mean you can't as long as he's still alive.
I'm assuming, because this trust kicks in after he's dead.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
So he has no trust. He has no trust. I'm
talking about art trust.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I don't okay, you got me. Then what does he
have to do with it? If he has no trust he.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Has if he gets money in the bank with that
going to probate, don't eat something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I don't understand. Does he have money in his name?
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yes, he has money in the bank.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Okay, how much does he have on a bank.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Oh, at least close to half a million.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Okay, where's the trust in all of this?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
From what I understand, you got a brother's in a
coma and he has half a million dollars in the bank.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Where is there a trust in all of that?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
I have the trust. It's the family trust when my
mom and my dad died.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
So is the fut half a million dollars in the
trust name or is it in his name?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Well, the one he has, it's in his name. But
there's more money coming.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Okay, So it's going into the trust. I guess more
money coming. But it's in his name. It's not a trust.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
It is just it belongs to him his name. It's
still under the trust. Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So what do you Oh, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
When's he going to get the money?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
That depends if I write them a check or not.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Okay, Yeah, you got me on this one. I'm I
just don't get it. I'm too confused on that one.
So I'm glad I was able to help you out.
And I should send you a bill for that, because
I am, after all, a lawyer who understands everything.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Carlos, Hey, Carlos, welcome.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Good money.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Bill, Yeah, go ahead, Carlos. But well, where are you from, Carlos?
I love these accents.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I am from originally from Peru.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh you're Peruvian? Ooh, I've been there. I love Peru. Yeah,
I've been.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I've been.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yep, yep. It's terrific, very high.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I've been to Cusco because it's what eleven thousand square feet.
You're immediately on the ground and you're hyperventilating and you
can't breathe, you die. It's a great place, it really is.
What can I do for you, Carlos?
Speaker 9 (19:36):
I was taken to small claims on a corporation there
has been closed for a long time, you know, and
then how can I you know, do I can? They collected?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No? No collect?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
If the corporation has been closed and the corporation was sued,
why would you be responsible for any any judgment against
the corporation?
Speaker 9 (20:01):
They tipped the mold claims. I went to close small
claims and they and I lost it.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
So wait a second, were you sued or was the
corporation sued?
Speaker 9 (20:09):
Carlos, corporation was sued. But I made a mistake to
that peer.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I don understand you made a mistake by appearing.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
Okay, the corporation was sued.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Okay, I got in my house.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Okay, so closed corporation.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
I went to small claims and I lost it.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So what how did you lose?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You're not the corporation, Carlos. If you have a corporation
that's no longer in existence, how do you get sued?
And how are you responsible for a company that doesn't
exist anymore? You weren't sued individually. Was your name on
that lawsuit?
Speaker 10 (20:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Okay, you're fine, So what's your question? What's your question, Carlos?
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Jo am irresponsible for the corporation?
Speaker 10 (20:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
No, no, But whoever the plaintiff has a judgment against
a company that no longer exists.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
You're fine, that's correct.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah, goodbye, that's it. Easy okay, easy psy on that one. Noel,
Do I have that right or Noah?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Christmas time? Noel works for me.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Bill.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
I just want to tell you a happy Holidays and
you're a national treasure to you.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Oh, thank you? All right, that's all right, you know
I got away now, all right?
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Yes, I had a domestic partner passed away. I lived
in wonderful Santa Klarita Valley for almost thirty five years
and there was no will, but we were registered domestic
partners through Sacramento.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
I had the paperworking, okay, And.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
My partner was diagnosed with autism kind of late in life,
and we're pretty sure that his daughter has it too.
But anyway, so he asked me, because when the day
comes that you sell this house, where you please give
my daughter something?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Okay, okay, hang on a minute, Hang on a minute.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
How was title to the house held or how is
it held? Who owns the house?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Right now?
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (22:17):
That the house as of right now is sold and
I'm in Texas the house.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
So who did own the house and who sold it?
And where'd the money go?
Speaker 10 (22:27):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
So basically we were rights of survivorship, got it?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Joint joy is joint tenancy? Yeah yeah, okay, sold before
you correct?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Correct?
Speaker 7 (22:41):
So so he he passed, and so now the money
is in my checking account. And I have no problem
helping her, although I have helped helped her before. And
she's very she's she probably hates my guts.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Now, Okay, Well that's a bad you know, but that's
bad on her part to hate your guts.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
She's not being very smart, so she hates you and
she's done.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Okay, Bill, that that's what I was telling her, and
I go, I'm trying to honor your father's wishes. He
kept it very simple. I'm not telling you an amount
or anything.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Okay, So what what is your question? What is your question.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
By law? Now that I'm back in Texas although the
house was sold in California, is it am? I just
like an angel of mercy at may and just write
at check.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yes, yes, you have absolutely, you have absolutely no duty
to give her one dime. How much money did you
get from the house?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Three and fifty thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Okay, that's cash. That's the cash you got. Okay, all right,
So here's what I would do. You have no duty
at all to give her anything. This is your money.
Let's start with that. Second of all, I would tell
her that you have no duty to give her any money.
She is being rude, obnoxious, and according to your dad,
(24:10):
I was supposed to give you money.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
He asked me to. But I'm gonna stiff you because
you are rude, you're obnoxious.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I don't owe you any money, and I've asked for
a second opinion, and yes, you're all so ugly.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Bill, I just want to lett.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
You should know something. I'm going to cut this short
because you're you're a busy guy. Me and another friend
from Louisiana who got me interested in day trading and
stocks and everything when he was with me at the
last viewing for that Neptune Society had set up for us,
and we were telling her when we were taking her
back to the airport that we want to set something
(24:49):
up board David's grandson, which he came so close to
being able to meet. But this was during the om
con out.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Okay, they were all right, so I'm about to go time,
so Noel, go ahead and finish.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Okay, yeah, so uh, we were going to set her
up with the with the college fund for the grand Wow.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Okay, well you could still do that and just bypass her.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
And just set it up for But the thing is
should that they don't want to give.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Out the social Security number. That's why sho I go,
oh my god, for.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
The for the You can find that out if you
have to.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's easy. You can find it out and just set
it up. It's easy peasy to do.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Dave, Yo, Dave, you're up, Bill, good morning?
Speaker 10 (25:30):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
My question is like six months ago my work, they
decided to put dash cams in the vehicles, and they
always told us they were like the camera in the
front can see camera just perfectly, just like a normal camera.
But they said the camera that faces inside while you're driving,
it's not a real camera. It's like as they call it,
machine view, and so all it's supposed to be is
(25:53):
like an infrared image of your body and it just
tells you like if you're distracted driving or something like that.
But putting the problem is is they have us go
to the bathroom to take a pee in the back
of this truck to save time, to not break off
and go to the bathrooms to save time. They have
us to do that.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Now you have a waste, you you have a you
have a bathroom in the truck.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Well it's almost like that, Like it's a big truck
and you could just go in the back and go
to the bathroom if you need to, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Like are you waiting? You can go on the back
as in go to the back of the truck outside
on zip and pee against the truck. Like okay, I
don't quite understand where they want you to be.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
It's a big box truck. It's a big box truck,
so you win. It's like a big room, okay, okay,
and so so within thing that there's no video inside
the truck. And if this is a lie, because I'm
starting to hear that maybe they can see video inside.
They've got a picture of me and my genitals in
my face.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
A whole on a minute. They want you to pee inside.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
The truck, yes, the same time. Yes, they always get
on us about leave.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
In the pie because peeing inside the truck, you would
think that that would sort of get in the way
of what the boxes. What happens if you're full of
boxes inside the truck.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
You're peeing in a bottle, You're peeing in a bottle,
in your.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Pin in a bottle, okay, got it? Okay, the old
pee in a bottle behind the truck case.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
So they have a picture of your you ping and uh,
you're basically your fruit package out there and they're taking
a picture of it.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Well, they always said they couldn't see that. They always
said it was just an inter.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Okay, what's your what's your question?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
If they're lying to me, If they're lying, make it
really see video taking pictures of my penis and my
face and they do.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, they could. That's true, Yep, they could. So what's
your question is that.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Is that legal?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I can they do that since they told me they
can't see us.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
But if it's I.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Want to tell you, I don't think you have a picture.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's a great Dave, this is a well, first of all,
let's talk about this.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Let's get real. Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Uh is it big enough that you would want people
to see it on a video?
Speaker 4 (28:07):
That's that's for other people to decide.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Okay, well, all.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Right, you know, all right, So now let's talk about legality.
I don't even think they can make you pee in
a bottle in the on the truck or in the
back of the truck.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
They have to give you bathroom break. Yeah, they have
to give you bathroom breaks. And by the way, bathroom breaks.
Notice the word bathroom is used.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's not go pee in a bottle at the back
of the truck breaks, it's bathroom breaks.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
So, yeah, none of this makes.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Sense if they First of all, why would you work
for a place that makes your pee in the bottle
at the back of a truck, even when you can
pull right up to a truck stop and run in
there and you know, use the restroom facilities.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
What kind of company does this?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
It's one you'd be surprised, I would be anyway.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
No, they can't do that.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
They can't force it, and if they do, they're in
all kinds of violations, and you sue their asses off,
especially if you can see their asses.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Now, take a picture.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I'll worry the bus. Take a picture.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Okay, now what all right? Until it happens, it happens.
Then you're saying what if?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
What if? It's hypothetical?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
And I always use I always use exactly the same
analogy with the hypothetical if my g if my grandmother
had balls, she'd be my grandfather.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
But she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
So this hasn't happened yet. Okay, this is why this
show does what it does.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
This is some very serious, fabulous legal advice. All right,
coming out.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
It's the holiday season, which means you're gonna see stockings.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You know, I'd love those things on the mantle. And
so what do you put? What kind of stocking stuffers
you put in there?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Well, you know, as I said earlier, put vials of
cocaine way too expensive. Japanese blow up dolls way too big,
So let me suggest pack. It's of Zelman's Minty Mouth mints.
That's what I'm shaking right now. My Zelman's minti Mouth
MIT's a little package. You're about fifty minutes inside. And
what you do is that it's really coded with some
(30:13):
pretty strong mint.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's a capsule.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Then you suck off the mint and then you swallow it,
bite into the capsule and it goes down to work
in your stomach. And a lot of people don't realize
bad breath comes from your stomach many times and stays there.
Zelman's takes care of that in a way that no
other mint could even begin to take care of it.
That's what Zelman's does. And it's a perfect stocking stuffer.
(30:37):
I mean these Oh it's fabulous. So here is their offer.
If you order a three pack or more, you are
going to get an automatic fifteen percent off until the
end of the year. That's a three pack or more
fifteen percent off automatically. Go to Zelman's Z E L
M I N S. Zelmans dot com, slash kfi.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
It's my home station.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Zelmans dot com, slash Kfi. Fifteen percent off, perfect stocking stuffers,
zelmans dot com, slash kfi.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
This is handle on the law
Top of the hour, always the best time to call.
And as you know, I get through these phone calls
pretty pretty quickly because I have no patience. So you know,
I cut you off, I scream at you. It's great
fun on this side. Quite often I'm wrong and let
me ask you something. This happens all the time too,
(00:20):
is people will call me and I'll say something and
they no, it's no. The statute says this, or the
law says this is because then why call me?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Maybe I should call you and you get the show
fine eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
This is handle on the law, marginal legal advice where
I tell you have absolutely no case.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Boy, this was a national case, big time.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Luigi Maggiano the guy who was arrested for killing the
CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, And he was out
there at large for I don't know, maybe a week,
five days, six days, and there was no question that
he was going to be captured because this was a
man hunt of gargantuan proportions, So he was going to
(01:14):
be caught. And there was a pretty substantial award that
was offered for tips leading to.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
The arrest of the suspect.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well more than four hundred tips were called in to
New York Police Department's Crime Stoppers the tip Line during
this five day search. The NYPD said about thirty of
those tips were useful. Probably the best tip, I mean
probably it was was a nine to one to one
call came in from a McDonald's employee now Tuna, Pennsylvania,
(01:49):
that said, your guy is here, I recognize him, and
they came and picked him up. So now there is
sixty thousand dollars reward is out there.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So who gets it?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And this quite often is a problem. Who gets the reward?
The thirty tips that came in from thirty different people
sort of zeroing him in where they're looking at a
specific location, Well that helped. That certainly was part of it.
Is it only that phone call to nine to one
(02:27):
one that said this is the guy here? That happens
all the time in rewards, and they usually take a
fair amount of time to figure out. And if there
are both federal and local awards or reward offers county, state,
feds or usually it's county and state, they're different rules
(02:50):
as in who gets it? Who gets you know, which
tips the balance. So at this point, no one knows.
And by the way, there were rewards called in where
a cop did it all? And does the cop get.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Reward the reward well, no, that's his job. That's another issue.
So sixty dollars is going to be.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Split up somehow, someway somewhere, and that's quite often how
rewards get started.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Okay, back we go.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Phone calls, Ted, Hi, Ted, I know, Yeah, I ran
off the road by an attorney.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Okay, didn't run yeah, and the cops. The cops went
to his house and talked to him, and then he
just denied it. So I just wonder what do I
All right, Well, let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Okay, First of all, were you injured at all?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yes, hurt my neck, in my back.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
The fact that he's the lawyer really doesn't matter. If
you can establish he that he ran you off the road.
I mean, he can be a lawyer all he wants.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Was there in the car with me, and she was
in there, she was okay.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So how did you establish how did you establish that
it was him that ran you off the road if it.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Was a hit and run, Well, he side slight me
in the slow lane. He ran me off into the
ice plants, and then I came behind him and we
started taking pictures of his license plate. And then the
cops went to his house and he denied it.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Okay, so let him deny it. In the meantime, you
have pictures of him at that point.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And what did he say? I wasn't there?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
He said, no, I never ran into some car anywhere.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He just okay, fine, so he says that, now, okay,
but so what The fact that he's an attorney has
nothing to do with it. If you have the proof,
if you have the evidence, and here are the pictures,
and he said, I never ran into a car anywhere.
Then why was your picture taken by him? I'm asking
him why would Ted have taken your picture? And he
(05:00):
he's going to go, I don't know. I guess just
Ted took my picture for no reason. The fact that
you have been injured, uh, and I don't know how
badly you've been injured.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Have you talked to a personal injury lawyer yet?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I did, and they don't. They're not interested too much
in that.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Okay, Well, hang on a minute.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
They're not interested too much because your damages aren't very high.
In other words, when you talk about your neck in
your back, is there their objective views of the injury?
Did you break anything? You need any surgery or is
it all soft tissue?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It wasn't like that. It was just it was just
the shock of it in this.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Okay, So that's not an injury ted. That's okay.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So that's why lawyers aren't taking it ted because there's
no money in it. Now, if your head had come off,
that is a good case. Okay, that would have been
a good case. If you flew through the window, uh
and all of a sudden your face looks like a
pepperoni pizza, that's a good case.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So your problem is twofold number one. It depends on
the proof.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, the problem really is that you're not injured enough
for a lawyer to take the case.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
How much damage to your car?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Got'm under two thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Suman small claims.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Souman small claims for that, and the fact that he's
a lawyer means nothing in small claims court.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
The cops give me his name and address, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So you sue him, so you serve them.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So you have them served, Your small you file a
small claim suit, and you serve the guy not that complicated.
A lawyer or lawyers won't go after other lawyers that
go Are you crazy? Lawyers don't go after other lawyers.
You ever seen animals that kill their.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Young and eat them?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, that's what we're doing here for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Run Hello, ron.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Hi Bill.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
I've got a ninety four year old grandmother who has said, wait.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Your grandmother is not twenty four? How old? Are you wrong?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I'm old?
Speaker 5 (07:03):
No, my mother in law sorry and my grandma.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh yeah, your mother in law's ninety four? All right?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
And so said dementia, got two daughters that are still alive.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
She's getting a point where we need to get conservaticy
of her. She doesn't have a whole lot of money,
but okay, and then so she's going to need to
move out of there, right, fair.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Enough, I got it. What's your question?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Run? So how do I get conservaticy?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Okay, that's okay, that's a procedure. It doesn't matter what
she says.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Part of it is I'm looking at the computer screen
that she is. She's not cooperating. Well, very few people
with dementia cooperate. That's The entire point of the conservatorships
is to take over notwithstanding, because even if she does
cooperate tomorrow, she doesn't and she forgets or she doesn't forget,
that's dementia. It's an application by a family member usually
(07:56):
just to go into court and say, I want to
take conservativeship over my ninety five year old mother in law,
and here is her medical issues, and you talk to
the doctors because someone's treating her.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean, it's not you that's determined she has dementia.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Because the course's not going to say, oh, you think
she has dementia, therefore I'm going to go ahead and
grant it. The judge is not going to say that
there has to be some proof. It can be done
by Affid David. You don't need medical proof. Particularly can
be done by everybody who knows her. It could be
done by her daughter, It could be to my cousins,
it could be on people that are aware of what
she is, and everybody says she's out of her mind,
and a conservatorship will be granted.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
As an application for.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Conservatorship, it's not a big deal. You will probably get it.
I mean, no one's going to contest it. Probably, and
so probably you go to a trust and estate lawyer
and you spend a couple thousand dollars as opposed to
doing it yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That's what I would do.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
And if you have the money, by the way, you
can pay yourself back out of her estate if she
has money.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Once you get a conservatorship, you control the.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Money that she has and you can actually pay yourself
back for the cost of the conservatorship.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Okay, and how you do it? Hey, quick word about
your pain.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
If you are living in chronic pain or you know
someone who does, let me suggest you listen to The
Pain Game podcast because it's about living.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
With chronic pain, and so many people do.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
The podcast is funny, but at the same time it's
so helpful.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's actually a lifesaver for people.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I've heard that the host Lindsay Soprano, and I've known
for years she's lived with chronic pain twenty four to seven,
and boy that she do it heroically. And every episode
ends with a message of hope. I mean, you can
walk out of that you listen to this saying you go, wow, okay,
now I feel better.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Now I understand. That's the Pain Game Podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The Pain Game Podcast Hello, Spencer, good.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Morning, And aside about your reward story, look for the
owner of the McDonald's franchise to try to claim the
reward since it was his employee.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That okay, okay, good point.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
That was the story I did at the beginning of
the hour about the reward and how rewards are split
up on tips.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, thanks for that. It's a good point. Yeah, okay, right,
we canna go for you, Spencer.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Well, you might remember my call where I asked you
should I use this device to stop a barking dog?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
What did I say?
Speaker 8 (10:17):
Oh, you went off some turnpike of talking about exploding
heads in a movie.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I didn't have the dog. Yeah, it splowed the dog's head.
I think I do remember that.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And I said, obviously you didn't do that, did you,
because you wouldn't be calling me, or maybe you would
after you got arrested for exploiting a dog's head.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
No, okay, so what's your question?
Speaker 8 (10:39):
The dog thinked me out. I went by the guy's
house and the dog was real frisky until I showed up.
The He looked like he was worried that I was there.
The guy made the conclusion that I was the one
that had interfered with his constantly barking dog.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
And now I.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Find out that he's a member of a fairly well
known motorcycle club that has a.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Okay, yeah, so what's what's your question?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
That one would not want to have a name.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
He's a he's a member of some like a Hell's
Angels kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I don't know if it is or not, but I
don't even if they're around anymore. But okay, so now
what all right? He now thinks that you are He
now thinks.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You're responsible for the remoting tool explodo, heead Okay.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Based on the dog's reaction, what's your question, Spencer? I'm
getting word that I better watch my staff, and I
wonder what I can do. It's sort of a veiled threat.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, looks, I'll tell you what you can do.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Basically, let me give you my opinion.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
You're gonna die, okay, Spencer, Uh, You're gonna get killed for.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
This by this guy.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What I would do, assuming that he doesn't kill you,
is uh, ignore it. Just ignore it, and if he
brings it up, go I had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
If he brings it up and he says something, what
are you talking about And he says, well, I think
you did it. Go No, absolutely not. You know, I
don't know why the dog is acting this way. And
by the way, why would the dog act that way
if you're doing a remote control unless you do it
right to the dog's.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Face, Because dogs figure out more than you know.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I guess, I guess, so all right, so uh, you
know the dog should do this show?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I guess. Okay, I mean my dogs and they're just
not that smart. Mervin him Irvin, welcome.
Speaker 10 (12:40):
Good morning, sir. Yes, turned to coal own your credit
coach turned the coal.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
That was it?
Speaker 10 (12:48):
No, okay, I've got it. I've got a grand said,
got arrested six plus years ago on something that it's
a Bill Clinton deal? But it well, what is it?
How far up? And they just every month they put
it off to the next month and the next month
(13:09):
and the next month. Is there any way we could
speed this thing up and get it over with.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Probably not? And how long ago? Six and a half
years ago?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yes, sir, I would ask them to be dismissed after
six and a half years. What are they doing for
six and a half years? How serious the crime is this?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Mervin?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
What is the Accuseday, I'm gonna be very very honest.
Speaker 10 (13:32):
He was a new sheriff in the county. How many
guess he got cut pat and some little gall on.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The cush Okay, well that's shin you know. Did and
he got did? He get tossed out of the academy
for that?
Speaker 10 (13:44):
He got putt He got put out of the Sheriff's department.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Okay, And then they are a wire.
Speaker 10 (13:53):
They have him on a recording saying yes I did.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Okay, fine, yo.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
If they have a wire and he's bit's doing it
on a recording and they have put it off for
six and a half years, Mervin, you wanted to be
put off for as long as possible because based on
what you're saying, they got them, they have him.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That's it. He said no did okay? They said yeah. Guy,
what I'm saying goes, yeah I did it. Now what
do you need? What you need to determine whether that's
true or not?
Speaker 10 (14:23):
One more question, Bill, The gal that was involved got
twenty five k from the county and they can't find her.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Well, that's helpful. Just leave it alone.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
If they keep on if they keep on going and going,
I'd call the da and go what do you guys
doing six and a half years later and you can't
even find the witness?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
When are you gonna dismiss this thing?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
That's what I would do, because that doesn't make a
lot of sense unless you fell through the cracks. I
would just leave it alone, or you know, get a
lawyer and ask for a dismissal of the case. All right,

employers and other.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Identities or entities. So many records are stolen online.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
We are so vulnerable to identity theft, and we have
virtually zero control over how our identity is protected by
third party companies like National Public Data, which you're out
there no matter what. So how do you protect yourself?
How do you protect your identity? And I get questions

Handle Ellie or Eli. Do I have that right?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Eli?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Hello?
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Eli?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (16:29):
My brother had a heart attack and now he's in
a coma.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh howld is he?
Speaker 5 (16:34):
How old is hety?
Speaker 10 (16:35):
One?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Forty one?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Tough?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
That's tough, and he has a brain damage and we're
gonna have to decide pretty soon if we're gonna keep
them on the vent later or we're gonna freak them.
And uh, well he had money coming from the from
the truck because my mom died earlier this year, and
I sold all the properties and I was wondering should
(16:59):
I keep it in his trust?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Well, first of all he had was the trust. The
trust already distributed.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
When you say he had money in the trust, you're
the trustee.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
You're the trustee of the money, and it's still in
the trust, correct.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Yeah, okay, okay?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What does the trust say?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
There are directions in the trust as to what happens
with the money under whatever circumstances.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
What does the trust tell you to do?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
It just tells me to disperse the money, and that's
about it.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Okay, Then you disperse the money and you can do it.
You can do it now.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I mean you can't as long as he's still alive.
I'm assuming, because this trust kicks in after he's dead.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
So he has no trust. He has no trust. I'm
talking about art trust.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I don't okay, you got me. Then what does he
have to do with it? If he has no trust he.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Has if he gets money in the bank with that
going to probate, don't eat something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I don't understand. Does he have money in his name?
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yes, he has money in the bank.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Okay, how much does he have on a bank.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Oh, at least close to half a million.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Okay, where's the trust in all of this?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
From what I understand, you got a brother's in a
coma and he has half a million dollars in the bank.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Where is there a trust in all of that?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
I have the trust. It's the family trust when my
mom and my dad died.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
So is the fut half a million dollars in the
trust name or is it in his name?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Well, the one he has, it's in his name. But
there's more money coming.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Okay, So it's going into the trust. I guess more
money coming. But it's in his name. It's not a trust.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
It is just it belongs to him his name. It's
still under the trust. Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So what do you Oh, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
When's he going to get the money?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
That depends if I write them a check or not.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Okay, Yeah, you got me on this one. I'm I
just don't get it. I'm too confused on that one.
So I'm glad I was able to help you out.
And I should send you a bill for that, because
I am, after all, a lawyer who understands everything.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Carlos, Hey, Carlos, welcome.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Good money.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Bill, Yeah, go ahead, Carlos. But well, where are you from, Carlos?
I love these accents.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I am from originally from Peru.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh you're Peruvian? Ooh, I've been there. I love Peru. Yeah,
I've been.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I've been.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yep, yep. It's terrific, very high.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I've been to Cusco because it's what eleven thousand square feet.
You're immediately on the ground and you're hyperventilating and you
can't breathe, you die. It's a great place, it really is.
What can I do for you, Carlos?
Speaker 9 (19:36):
I was taken to small claims on a corporation there
has been closed for a long time, you know, and
then how can I you know, do I can? They collected?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No? No collect?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
If the corporation has been closed and the corporation was sued,
why would you be responsible for any any judgment against
the corporation?
Speaker 9 (20:01):
They tipped the mold claims. I went to close small
claims and they and I lost it.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
So wait a second, were you sued or was the
corporation sued?
Speaker 9 (20:09):
Carlos, corporation was sued. But I made a mistake to
that peer.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I don understand you made a mistake by appearing.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
Okay, the corporation was sued.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Okay, I got in my house.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Okay, so closed corporation.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
I went to small claims and I lost it.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So what how did you lose?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You're not the corporation, Carlos. If you have a corporation
that's no longer in existence, how do you get sued?
And how are you responsible for a company that doesn't
exist anymore? You weren't sued individually. Was your name on
that lawsuit?
Speaker 10 (20:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Okay, you're fine, So what's your question? What's your question, Carlos?
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Jo am irresponsible for the corporation?
Speaker 10 (20:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
No, no, But whoever the plaintiff has a judgment against
a company that no longer exists.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
You're fine, that's correct.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah, goodbye, that's it. Easy okay, easy psy on that one. Noel,
Do I have that right or Noah?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Christmas time? Noel works for me.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Bill.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
I just want to tell you a happy Holidays and
you're a national treasure to you.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Oh, thank you? All right, that's all right, you know
I got away now, all right?
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Yes, I had a domestic partner passed away. I lived
in wonderful Santa Klarita Valley for almost thirty five years
and there was no will, but we were registered domestic
partners through Sacramento.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
I had the paperworking, okay, And.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
My partner was diagnosed with autism kind of late in life,
and we're pretty sure that his daughter has it too.
But anyway, so he asked me, because when the day
comes that you sell this house, where you please give
my daughter something?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Okay, okay, hang on a minute, Hang on a minute.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
How was title to the house held or how is
it held? Who owns the house?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Right now?
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (22:17):
That the house as of right now is sold and
I'm in Texas the house.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
So who did own the house and who sold it?
And where'd the money go?
Speaker 10 (22:27):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
So basically we were rights of survivorship, got it?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Joint joy is joint tenancy? Yeah yeah, okay, sold before
you correct?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Correct?
Speaker 7 (22:41):
So so he he passed, and so now the money
is in my checking account. And I have no problem
helping her, although I have helped helped her before. And
she's very she's she probably hates my guts.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Now, Okay, Well that's a bad you know, but that's
bad on her part to hate your guts.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
She's not being very smart, so she hates you and
she's done.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Okay, Bill, that that's what I was telling her, and
I go, I'm trying to honor your father's wishes. He
kept it very simple. I'm not telling you an amount
or anything.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Okay, So what what is your question? What is your question.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
By law? Now that I'm back in Texas although the
house was sold in California, is it am? I just
like an angel of mercy at may and just write
at check.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yes, yes, you have absolutely, you have absolutely no duty
to give her one dime. How much money did you
get from the house?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Three and fifty thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Okay, that's cash. That's the cash you got. Okay, all right,
So here's what I would do. You have no duty
at all to give her anything. This is your money.
Let's start with that. Second of all, I would tell
her that you have no duty to give her any money.
She is being rude, obnoxious, and according to your dad,
(24:10):
I was supposed to give you money.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
He asked me to. But I'm gonna stiff you because
you are rude, you're obnoxious.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I don't owe you any money, and I've asked for
a second opinion, and yes, you're all so ugly.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Bill, I just want to lett.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
You should know something. I'm going to cut this short
because you're you're a busy guy. Me and another friend
from Louisiana who got me interested in day trading and
stocks and everything when he was with me at the
last viewing for that Neptune Society had set up for us,
and we were telling her when we were taking her
back to the airport that we want to set something
(24:49):
up board David's grandson, which he came so close to
being able to meet. But this was during the om
con out.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Okay, they were all right, so I'm about to go time,
so Noel, go ahead and finish.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Okay, yeah, so uh, we were going to set her
up with the with the college fund for the grand Wow.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Okay, well you could still do that and just bypass her.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
And just set it up for But the thing is
should that they don't want to give.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Out the social Security number. That's why sho I go,
oh my god, for.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
The for the You can find that out if you
have to.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's easy. You can find it out and just set
it up. It's easy peasy to do.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Dave, Yo, Dave, you're up, Bill, good morning?
Speaker 10 (25:30):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
My question is like six months ago my work, they
decided to put dash cams in the vehicles, and they
always told us they were like the camera in the
front can see camera just perfectly, just like a normal camera.
But they said the camera that faces inside while you're driving,
it's not a real camera. It's like as they call it,
machine view, and so all it's supposed to be is
(25:53):
like an infrared image of your body and it just
tells you like if you're distracted driving or something like that.
But putting the problem is is they have us go
to the bathroom to take a pee in the back
of this truck to save time, to not break off
and go to the bathrooms to save time. They have
us to do that.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Now you have a waste, you you have a you
have a bathroom in the truck.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Well it's almost like that, Like it's a big truck
and you could just go in the back and go
to the bathroom if you need to, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Like are you waiting? You can go on the back
as in go to the back of the truck outside
on zip and pee against the truck. Like okay, I
don't quite understand where they want you to be.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
It's a big box truck. It's a big box truck,
so you win. It's like a big room, okay, okay,
and so so within thing that there's no video inside
the truck. And if this is a lie, because I'm
starting to hear that maybe they can see video inside.
They've got a picture of me and my genitals in
my face.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
A whole on a minute. They want you to pee inside.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
The truck, yes, the same time. Yes, they always get
on us about leave.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
In the pie because peeing inside the truck, you would
think that that would sort of get in the way
of what the boxes. What happens if you're full of
boxes inside the truck.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
You're peeing in a bottle, You're peeing in a bottle,
in your.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Pin in a bottle, okay, got it? Okay, the old
pee in a bottle behind the truck case.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
So they have a picture of your you ping and uh,
you're basically your fruit package out there and they're taking
a picture of it.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Well, they always said they couldn't see that. They always
said it was just an inter.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Okay, what's your what's your question?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
If they're lying to me, If they're lying, make it
really see video taking pictures of my penis and my
face and they do.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, they could. That's true, Yep, they could. So what's
your question is that.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Is that legal?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I can they do that since they told me they
can't see us.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
But if it's I.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Want to tell you, I don't think you have a picture.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's a great Dave, this is a well, first of all,
let's talk about this.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Let's get real. Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Uh is it big enough that you would want people
to see it on a video?
Speaker 4 (28:07):
That's that's for other people to decide.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Okay, well, all.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Right, you know, all right, So now let's talk about legality.
I don't even think they can make you pee in
a bottle in the on the truck or in the
back of the truck.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
They have to give you bathroom break. Yeah, they have
to give you bathroom breaks. And by the way, bathroom breaks.
Notice the word bathroom is used.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's not go pee in a bottle at the back
of the truck breaks, it's bathroom breaks.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
So, yeah, none of this makes.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Sense if they First of all, why would you work
for a place that makes your pee in the bottle
at the back of a truck, even when you can
pull right up to a truck stop and run in
there and you know, use the restroom facilities.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
What kind of company does this?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
It's one you'd be surprised, I would be anyway.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
No, they can't do that.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
They can't force it, and if they do, they're in
all kinds of violations, and you sue their asses off,
especially if you can see their asses.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Now, take a picture.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I'll worry the bus. Take a picture.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Okay, now what all right? Until it happens, it happens.
Then you're saying what if?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
What if? It's hypothetical?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
And I always use I always use exactly the same
analogy with the hypothetical if my g if my grandmother
had balls, she'd be my grandfather.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
But she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
So this hasn't happened yet. Okay, this is why this
show does what it does.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
This is some very serious, fabulous legal advice. All right,
coming out.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
It's the holiday season, which means you're gonna see stockings.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You know, I'd love those things on the mantle. And
so what do you put? What kind of stocking stuffers
you put in there?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Well, you know, as I said earlier, put vials of
cocaine way too expensive. Japanese blow up dolls way too big,
So let me suggest pack. It's of Zelman's Minty Mouth mints.
That's what I'm shaking right now. My Zelman's minti Mouth
MIT's a little package. You're about fifty minutes inside. And
what you do is that it's really coded with some
(30:13):
pretty strong mint.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's a capsule.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Then you suck off the mint and then you swallow it,
bite into the capsule and it goes down to work
in your stomach. And a lot of people don't realize
bad breath comes from your stomach many times and stays there.
Zelman's takes care of that in a way that no
other mint could even begin to take care of it.
That's what Zelman's does. And it's a perfect stocking stuffer.
(30:37):
I mean these Oh it's fabulous. So here is their offer.
If you order a three pack or more, you are
going to get an automatic fifteen percent off until the
end of the year. That's a three pack or more
fifteen percent off automatically. Go to Zelman's Z E L
